Hi Alf, I've checked LXQt related things once again on a fresh stock Debian LXQt desktop system using http://get.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso for installation.
It seems that this issue can be solved if pcmanfm-qt would ship the file /etc/xdg/pcmanfm-qt/lxqt/settings.conf with the wallpaper variable set to /etc/alternatives/desktop-background (overriding the related file below /usr/share). While a dedicated Debian theme would be nice to have, the existing resources alone would allow to provide a better fitted Debian LXQt desktop look and feel based upon the 'light' theme. Besides modifying pcmanfm-qt's settings.conf file a bit more, the 'lxqt-session' package could ship the /etc/xdg/lxqt/lxqt.conf file and the 'lxqt-panel' package the /etc/xdg/lxqt/panel.conf file to achieve this. All mentioned files are attached. Further attached is a script 'debian-lxqt' that I've used to test various settings by simply adjusting the script. IMO the proposed changes could provide a Debian compliant LXQt desktop with decent look and behaviour. CCing debian-desktop@ because there might be people around with more skills/ideas. Wolfgang
